Telemetry - What does it provide now?

• 1. Continuous transmission of Pressure, Time
  Remaining , Temperature , battery status, etc
• 2. Two way evacuation/withdrawal signalling with
  acknowledgements
• 3. ADSU alarms and manual distress signals

Which means vital safety data displayed at the
Control Board !
